Abstract |
- Eco-labelling is considered with increased interest within the scope of fisheries crisis, as a way
to tackle both marine biodiversity conservation and development issues. Along West African
Coast, diversity and specificity of seafood issued from localised fishery systems (or fishery
territories) are remarkable and recognised from long time. Recently, initiatives to draw more
value from fish and fishery while maintaining them for the future are more and more
developing. Nevertheless, those innovative dynamics are generally initiated and implemented
by foreign operators, targeting specific categories of customers and are unequally reappropriated
by the fishermen communities. They still occupy a minor place in local and
national economies. Moreover, these devices are binding and thus exclusive. So, they could
have unexpected and contradictory effects on biological and cultural diversity.
An Interdisciplinary (anthropology, geography, economic, sociology, ethnobiology, ecology
and law studies) and comparative approach, conducted in different environmental, political and
socio-economical contexts, leads to assess the constraints and opportunities attached to ecolabelling
in fisheries (Biodivalloc programme, ANR05 BDIV02).
Also, the aim of this contribution is to examine the connection and consistency between the
devices and norms that shape those instruments and the local practices and actors strategies all
along the fish network. It seeks to determine the conditions of using these tools in ways that
ensure the co-viability of coastal (biological and social) systems.
This question is adressed through diverse study cases, the Mugil fishery of Mauritania, the
Octopus fishery of Senegal, the mollusks exploitation (Arca, Crassostrea, Cymbium, Pugilina,
etc.) of the Saloum Delta, Senegal.
